A Nigerian woman living in Canada, named Amaka Sunnberger, is under investigation for threatening to poison Nigerians from the Yoruba and Benin tribes.
Toronto Police Service spokesman, Sergeant Bassey Osagie, confirmed that the case has been reported and is currently under investigation.
The Nigerian House of Representatives and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission have also sent petitions to Canadian authorities, urging them to investigate and prosecute Sunnberger.
Beyond Boders reported that on Wednesday, a video of Sunnberger went viral where she was seen on TikTok live, threatening to cause mass killings of Yoruba and Benin people living in Canada. She boasted about living in Ontario, Canada, and claimed she would start poisoning the food and water of Nigerians at her workplace.
Following the viral threat, the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, revealed Sunnberger’s identity along with her photo.

A petition was also sent to the Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, to draw attention to the threat.
In response to the video, the House of Representatives wrote a letter to the Canadian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Jamie Christoff, asking for Sunnberger’s prosecution. The letter stated that Sunnberger’s statements were a direct threat to Nigerians and called for an immediate and thorough investigation.
Sunnberger later reacted in another video, dismissing the call for her arrest and stating she held a Canadian passport.
Speaking in Pidgin, she said, “Somebody just sends me a message, say them arrest me, say them wan deport me, with passport? I be Canada pikin.
“See am now, I dey house, why I go dey lie?”
Sunnberger openly expressed her hatred for Yoruba and Benin people, stating she would poison their food and water so they would fall sick and die slowly. She mentioned using poisons like rat poison and other harmful substances.
She also called on Igbos to act against the Yoruba and Benin, expressing strong animosity and encouraging harmful actions.
Sunnberger’s words have sparked outrage and concern among Nigerians and Canadian authorities alike.
